Girl’s Camping Birthday Party

Most kids love the outdoors, so what would be better than a fun camping party!

Tracie, from tsj photography, designed this party for her daughters.  The adorable invites were created by Nellie Design,

Look at this huge Camp Banner that welcomed everyone into the camp.

There were many signs along the driveway to greet the guests.

What a great dessert table!

I love that in lieu of gifts, the girls asked for books they’ll be donating to their school library.

The cakes are adorable!!!

The girls received personalized camping chairs and blankets  to keep them warm on their campout!

They had  popcorn for their outdoor movie theater!

What a wonderful party with so many personal elements to make it special for everyone!

Tennis Party – Friar Tuck Cup

I fell in love with this party when I saw it and secretly wish I could have been a guest to enjoy this exciting scene :)

Christi from P is for Party shared this wonderful Friar Tuck Cup Party.  There was a tennis tournament before this elaborate event.  After the tournament the tennis court was turned into a preppy lounge area and dance floor.

The tables were set with ghost chairs and different styles of banquettes to create lounge areas throughout the space.

I love how flip flops were available for the guests who wanted to get more comfortable or forgot that they could not wear heels on the court.

These are such unique favors to hand out.  The guests were given tennis ball cans filled with sweet potato chips with powdered sugar.  Sounds delicious!!!

Lily’s Luau

As we say goodbye to summer, here is a festive way to end the summer with a great celebration!  This Luau comes from The Seaman Family.  Be sure to watch for more parties as Aubree starts her own Children’s Party Planning business.

Here are the details from her party in her words.

————————————————————————————————————

Over the weekend, we celebrated Lily’s 6th Birthday with a Luau! After months of planning, spending, and crafting, the party was definitely one that she will remember. She invited her best friends, Abby and Ally; and with her sister Evie at her side, they danced, swam, made a craft, and had a fantastically fun Home-Made Party! Thanks to all of my Etsy friends for their hard work and to Leah for her Photography!

I whipped us these napkin rings from flowers that I had left over when making the girls each their very own barrettes to take home.

I filled bud vases full of six-lets, which I haven’t eaten since I was a kid, so it took me back to the days when candy wasn’t so expensive! ;)

The dining table was set for our Luau dinner, featuring Hawaiian chicken and pineapple on the grill.

Each girl got to go home with their very own grass skirt. The flowers, clipped to the top, were their hair barrettes that I made.

…and these pineapple cups were gifts that I threw in as well. Every kid likes to drink from fun pineapples, right?

These were bamboo fans for each guest to take home as well. The Thank You tags, Cupcake Toppers and Wrappers, and Water Bottle Labels were made from Etsy seller, Heather at Chickabug. Check out her shop for many more paper party items, customizable to your child’s party!

The delicious gourmet cupcakes were made by Rhianna at Happiness In A Bite. I have used her for three different parties so far, and they are always a hit!

The beautifully decorated Gourmet cookies were made from Lori at Lori’s Place. You gotta check out her work as well…AMAZING!

They came individually packaged and ready to eat. Aren’t they adorable?

I filled a bucket full of water bottles and Jones drinks, with labels tailored to Lily’s Luau. The labels had fun Birthday Facts on the back of them. You can find them here: www.etsy.com/shop/chickabug.

The kids loved the chocolate fountain! Who am I kidding, I love it too. ;)

We set up a photo booth for pictures and Owen loved running back and forth through the grass skirt wall!

Her Headband and Tutu were made by Etsy Seller Tiara’s Tutus. She has beautiful costumes for all times of the year and with Halloween coming around the corner, you should stop by!

Poms always add eye candy to a party. I got these from PomLove on Etsy.

The banner is made by Taffie Wishes on Etsy. She has so many cute things, so be sure to stop by if you like what you see!
